Tom, I took both the V3.5 Install and Configure, and the V3.5 Deploy, Secure and Analyze. We walked through nearly every button-click on vCenter and option on the command line. I wasn't very familiar with VMware at the time so it was a bit much to absorb. If you've been using it for a while, you have a better reference point than I did. They have a Design course that might work for you. At this point I have a two-site environment with shared storage and it isn't that complicated. I'd be happy to meet with you to talk VMware and show you what we've got. Would anyone else be interested in meeting to compare VMware notes? -- Ed Symanzik, ATS [log in to unmask]
